I don't have anything to mix mine with, its a little funky so i use it sparingly in my dc. I can't smell it once its mixed in, i tried it on my leg and i was like no.:nono: I had to wash it off.

I know what you mean. I tried that JBCO Hair Pomade and :nono:. The smell of the oil itself may not linger but that pomade did. I threw it away.
 
hi ladies.
i couldnt deep condition today because i ended up going out early in the morning. si what i did was mix together honey, AO WC and AO RM and turned up to water so the stem could work. i only left it in for ten minutes but my hair was so darn soft. i had the prettiest w&g. then when i got home i put my hair in tiny twists using cocolatte. i just got finished greasing my scalp with natures blessings, forgot i had it.

i ended up buying my ojon mist today from sephora and got a sample of it for free so i might carry that in my purse.
i also purchased organix coconut milk conditioner and natures gate pomegranate conditioner. cant wait to use the.

my twists are so soft, fluffy and light with the cocolatte, amazing. only thing is i cant co wash becase cocolatte doesnt have hold.
 
Good morning ladies, i will not use up anything this week. I think everything is pretty full. I ordered hair scarves last week and they should arrive today, im excited about that, ill actually be here when a box comes.:look: The jbco is still doing its thing on my scalp, so i will more than likely get a bottle on wendsday.Today i will be using tw mist and avocado butter to moisturize. Everyone keep up the good work, and use those products up.
 
Shay and Aggie, how did you start with tea rinses? It sounds so complicated. Did you start simple and build your way up? I think I am ready to start. I just need to hit the indian market this weekend.
 
Hello Ladies,

I will not use up anything this week. As a matter of fact, I don't think I'll ever use up anything again (except for moisturizers and oils) because I can't get my lazy behind to select and stick with a new wash day!! (sarcasm for myself to get motivated and start doing my hair again) I miss Saturdays...
 
Qhemet users, can you tell me a bit about the amla & olive cream, burdock root butter cream and the olive and honey cream? How long do the samples last?

I see she sells her products locally, I am excited.

can i tell yall i just took my pretty wrap off and my hair is still sooooo soft. i am loving afroveda cocolatte butter. it has a slight greasyness to it which i love because for twists and braids you wont have to moisturize for 2-3 days but knowing me i will do do anyway.

i like qhemet products. wouldnt say i love them, except for the detangling gee but other than that i just like her products. the honey balm is a little less sticky right now but im guessing its because its cold now so thats good. the heavy cream is nice, has that slight greasiness that i love but if you use the wrong combo with it it will make your hair crunchy. example: yall know i love my ojon mist and i always spray that on when im about to moisturize. well i did that before i used the heavy cream and my hair dried so crunchy. but other than that its nice.
 
I made another trip down to Lush. I am addicted for real. Their cleansers are so good, and they don't foam and leave my skin dry. But also they help my oily skin. The stores have not smelled as bad as they used to (or what I remember).

I am going to use one of their Lemon bodywash buttercreams to wash my hair on Saturday. It has no sulfates and has a ratio of 15% cleansers and 85% butters, oils and moisturizers. I am going to use it on my body tonight though :lick: Lemon is supposed to even out your skintone and brighten it.

The calamine powder in their body washes makes them so soothing to the skin. I don't get the itches or red skin (I am sensitive and get scratches and marks easily)

The clays, rice and beans in the Herbalism cleanser for my face makes my face silky smooth, its not abrasive at all. Its really stanky though. Not from perfume or fragrance. From the herbs and rice water vinegar in it.

The tea tree toner is not harsh and balances my skin.

The shaving cream makes David's face soft and my legs soft (Don't tell David I'm using his stuff :sekret:)

ETA: I don't buy the bath bombs and other frivolous stuff. I ain't payin 8 bucks for something I can just use once. Maybe 2 bucks :sekret:

i am so excited i have a 16oz afroveda cocolatte on the way. i dont know if i told yall that Fab sent me some afroveda products last week and the cocolatte was missing from the package. well miss mala is sending out the 16oz since she forgot it. i freaking love that stuff so im happy.

the shea amla is more moisturizing than the cocolatte and the shea amla isnt greasy but it is something about the cocolatte that i cant get enough of. also the smell stays with you because i can still smell the chocolate in my hair lol.

You are missing out! The bath bombs and bubble bars are the business!

I am going to use the tw mist and castor oil I have. Once the castor oil is done I will buy the JBCO.

The mist and oil have my hair feeling great!

I don't think I will finish anything this week.
 
Ladies yall remember the elucence liters that i ordered? They came last week. So why today did i get a box with the same order again. I won't have to buy any elucence until 2011.This has never happened to me before.

I have no idea how it happened, the only thing i can think of is ups tracking said it would be delivered today but i got the package on thursday or friday i can't remember. And i usually use my cc and i used paypal this time.

mkd: The "sample sizes" actually last quite a while. You get about 2 oz of Product and a little goes a long way and it lasts.:yep:

I adore the Olive & Honey. It's somewhat a sticky consistency, but it really moisturizes your hair. The Coco Tree Detangling Ghee I thought was also awesome as well as the Amla & Heavy Cream. All of these performed Excellently for me when I was deep into a 16 week Stretch.

So much so, that I cannot wait to order them ALL.:lachen::blush:

I also have a 2 oz Sample of the Burdock Root Cream (and will order a larger one during the sale) But I have yet to use it/try it. I am waiting on my Touch Up. So it's sitting in the Stash.

I say try the sample sizes. You will be pleased with the size & the performance.
 
T is the honey balm a humectant? because im thinking that this sunday when i do my next set of twists i may mix the honey balm and heavy cream together but i dont want it to draw moisture from my hair. i may just have to try it and see.
 
also mkd, your hair is really silky and im guessing its not thick so the heavy cream and honey balm MAY be too heavy for you unless you use very small amounts in which case the 8oz will last you a life time lol. qhemets 8oz seem huge.

It's really not that complicated to me. I did some research and came up with some mixes.

Conditioning--Brahmi, Amla, Hibiscus, Bhringraj
Cleansing--Shikakai, Neem, Amla
Strength--Fenugreek & Kalpi Tone

I use them according to my goal for that day. I also do cassia glosses because I don't want the color of henna. I feel like I get some shine with it and it highlights the color I already have (reddish brown). I've just started with amla rinses and will probably do glosses too because I love my texture and bringing it out while on this long term transition will keep me going.

The samples last for a bit. Amla & olive cream is very moisturizing and a little goes a long way. The olive & honey hydrating balm is quite sticky but I love using to slick back edges on wet or dry hair. It just melts in your hair.

That's why I think she should start with the 'sample' to see if she really likes it. it lasts a long time and it takes very little product.:yep:

Heavy Handed or Not. It lasts a long time.:yep: (And I am heavy-handed with product).:look:
 
Does everyone here have some jbco? Do you ladies want to do a challenge within a challenge? I know this thread is all over the place:lachen:.
